Little
bxes, snoiliasr
The beloved yjnp
Trusted to my tending
B j the i One Divin e
Lit le foxes7 wherefore
Have ye entrance found
To the; vine so precious
Growing in my ground
Have ye leaped the fences
Have ye clijnbed the wall?
Were there tiny openings 1
Ye are very small
And ye can creep slyly
Through a tiny space ; 1
But I thought I ciosec up
Jiivery open space.
And I watch hy day lime,
And I watch by night "
For the vina you're spoiling
Is my heart'sxlelight !
I have keptthe earth-worm
From its precjons rooj; j
I have trimmed its branches
But they bear 116 fruit.
For the little foxes
Have assailed the vine
Trustedto my tending
By the One L-iviiie ;
And thpugh lye been faithfu
Since its birthday morn,
They were in the garden
Vhen the babe was oi n.
For they are the failings
That I would not see,
When they were my failings,
When they dwelt in mo ; v
Little faults unheoded
That I now "despise, !
For my baby took them
With my ha: r . and eyes
And I chide hr often
For I know I must,
.-y
But I do it always
Bov-red dpwn to the dust,
With a face all crimsoned
With a burning blush
And an imyard whisper
That I cannot hush.
And sometimes it seemeth
Like the voice of God,
And it says, " Poor coward
Using now the rod
On a childs frail body
Till you hpar it moan, - ?:
And see its soft flesh quiver
JTor a sin thine own," .
Oh, my Father pity
Pity and forgive
Slav the little foxes
I allowed to live
Till they left the larger
Fqf the smaller vine,
Till they touched the dear life
Dearer far than mine.
Oh, my Father, hear me,
Make my darling Thine,
Though I am so human,
Make her all divine I
Slay the little foxes,
That both vines may be
Ladened with fruit worthy
. To be offered Thee.

Beauty n d style are not the
surest passports to respectability
sonie ot tlie. nobjest specimens of
womanhood that the world has
ever seen have presented the plain
est and most unprepossessing ap
pearances. A woman's worth is
to be estimated by the real good
ness of her heart, the greatness of
her chaiaeter; and a woman with
a kindly disposition, and a well
balanced mhulahd temper, is
lovely and attractive, be her face
ever so homely she makes the best
of yives, and the truest of moth
jersl She has a higher purpose in
living than the beautiful yet vain
and supercilious woman, who has
no higher ambition than to flaunt
her finery in the streets, or to
irratify her inordinate - vanity by
exacting flattery ani praise from
a society whose compliments are
as hollow as they are insincere.

would have strong muscles, we must
labor.
From the Maryland Farmer.
Wheat Etaisiiigr Lslrge and
Small Yields;
It is an old and true proverb,
" that ho who makes twTo blades
grow where but one grew before
is a benefactor to our race." -If
the farmers can be persuaded,
or by any means be enabled to
increase the general yield of ichcat,
even by one-fourth, and preserve
the fertility of their soil, a great
good will be accomplished; and
this ought and can surely be-done.
The annual reports of the Agri- i
cultural Department at Washing
ton, show that the average yiefd,
per acre, throughout the country,
is about eleven (11) bushels.
In Maryland the average yield
of wheat was-r-1865, 9 bu&hels;
1867, 11 bushels : 1870 9 bush
els; and in 1871, 12 bushels.
This small yield pays very little
or no profit, to the farmer for
raising it scarcely more thaif
covering the expense, when the
seed, labor, taxes, and interest on
the price of the land, are taken
into account. y
Now, let us look at the larger
yields which can be, and often are
obtained, by thorough and proper
cultivation, double and treble the
average' and at no more than
oncNtnird to one-haJf niore cost
per acrc, 'but- at a less cost per
bushel, for the graiiivand note;
how much more profitable, there
fore, is the thorough culture,,
large yield urocess.
R. W. Pruitt, Alabama, in 1869
raised 32 bushels per acre, on a
considerable field. Samuel Bailey,
Georgia, same year, raised 57
bushels per acre. F. Stephenson,
same State, in 1865, raised 9 bush
el a pcT ac i xjr Uj deeper piu vTijig
and green manuring, in 1867, he
got 17 bushels per acre; in 1869,
with oneinch still deeper plowing,
and turning under more green
stuff, on same land, he got 27
bushels per acre, and nt larger
profit than realized from the pre
vious cropg. James Graham,
Michigan, raised 35 J bushels per
acre, C. T. Beck, same State, got
37 bushels per acre, Joseph E.
Roberts, New Jersev. raised 30
and 3PbusLel? per acre, for sever
al years m succession. The Rural
Jlome, Hqci ester, New York, re
ports 40 bushels per acre, in that
region, on a. large field, plowed
12 to 14 inches deep. Reports
from Minnesota show several
fields giving various yields, from
10 to 32 bushels out acre under
different culture. -
We have read of crops of wheat
being raised in Maryland and Vir
ginia, iu past years, as high as 30,
42 and 54 bushels per acre ; yet,
see the above stated meagre aver?
age in this State.
II. S. Hart, Filmore county,
'Minnesota, , reports that several
field in that county yield 32
bushels tlie acro, while the aver
age yieiu in uie county is ouiy
about 22 bushels.
' A. M. Latham, South Carolina,
reports raising 367 bushels on
4I"
seven acres,. being over 52 J bush
els per- acre ; and that State is
not
so good as Maryland lor
wheat.
Then, t may beasked is it
wise or creditable for tlie many to
raise such smalj. snil'tless crops,
when others get those largo yields?
.Why should a few get 20 to 50
bushels the acre, and the nia.cs of
farmers get only 9 to 15 bushels
and on equally as good land. There
i s m u ch mure, profi t rea I i zed fro m
the larger yields than from the
smaller ; and no one can doubt or
dispute that the lands of Maryland
are superior for wheat it is emi
nently a favorable State for wheat,
both in quality and quantity.
Where is our pride ? '
In another paper, if desired, we
will give in detajl, the manner in
which most of superior crops
are produced and the way in
which 30, to 40 bushels the acre
may be common aud not excep
tional yield ; . and that too, at
greater profit, and better preserva
tion of the fertility of-the soil,
than obtained . under the course
which gives those small averages.
Tlie writer of this has, raore'tliaii
once, raised 25 to 35 bushels of
wheat the acre, on no better land,
and in, less favorable localities
than Maryland and Virginia pre
sent. ,
' 9)c
But; it is perfectly safe to say,
that 20 to 40 bushels of. wheat Jthd
apre may regularly be obtained,
three in every five years, without
impoverishing the soils ; and ono
good crop ot hay during the samo
time. -
Tobacco.
What an evil ! what a nuisance J
what e plague what a leprosy it
is to have a smoking man or wo
about the house. It's smoke in
the mqrning,smoke at noon,smoke
at night smoke rising up, lying
down, coming in, going out it's
smoke, all the time I Everything
is smoked up. The kitchen ia
smoked up, the parlors, the bed
rooms, the cellars, the garrets,
the out-houses, the wardrobe-
every particle of costume or fui
niture is more or less impregnate
ed by this abominable Indian,
weed. God's pure air is poisoned
and stenchified. Every family
arid ev;ery member in the family
is compelled to inhale the poison
ous effluvia to gratify this accurs
ed lust of the flesh. Tobacco pen
etrates every nook and corner.
It's, one of the most powerful,
baneful penetrating narcotics that
ever visited God's earth. Then
look at the most dingy, dumpish,
stupid sottishnes8 of the smoker-
oi; cigar in his mouth, night and
da5T -puffing h'u very soul out, re
gradle8s of consequences, to grati
fy an unnatural, depraved appes
tite often ding the whole commu
nity. Behold the man, his mouth,
his lips, his teeth, his whole conr
tour his sallpw, dumpish, bacon-
ized appearance! And oh! oh !
what a breath what a breatt!
TelHt not ; write it not. Run !
run br your life! Friend, smok
ing friend, have mercy, do if
you have no mercy on yourself, if
you are determined tosmoleyoup
own lite out sear your conscience
harder than thc nethei millstone,
and go down to the grave a sot .
do have pity on your neighbors.
Paul said he would not eat meat
while the world stood, if it caus
ed his brother to offend. Not bq
with tobacco smokers.
DouH Force the Growth.
Jt s a mistake to try to mako
premature men out of boys, for it
is not natural for them to be so
staid, reserved, nor always well
mannered, and the discipline tht
makes them so before their time
will probably distort or cripple
some of their finest qualities. The
roots of a young tree, must have
room to spread, and if they are
inexorably crammed into a hole,
bienough for only half of them,
,mrt( atJ t0 tree pr&ematurely
some are sure to ne grievously
damasced. As for education, it
must always be rerfiembered that
what a boy learns from boojes is
but a small portion of his educa?,
tion. That which lie gathers
from his surroundings and from
his home, pleasant or repulsive,
from his associations, from nature,
from everything he sees and
lira rs, goes equally to form his
mind and c haracter.
The educated Wqaiau.
The well informed woman may
generally be known, not so much by
what she teljs you, as by what she
does not tell you ; for she is the last
to take pleasure in mere gossip, or
to makeVulgar allusion to the ap
pearance, dress, or personal habits
of her friends and neighbors. Her
thoughts are not 14 these things.
The chain of her reflections goes no
along with the eating, drinking
visiting, or scandal of the circle in
which she moves. She has a world
of interest beyond her local associa,
tions.
